WAsiiiNoro.v , Sept. ! l At 11 o'clock to
night another shock of earthquake was Ml
nil along the southern Atlantic coast. It
was not attended by any damage so far as
can be learned , but It was strong enough to
cause a stampede fiom their Instruments of
the telegraph operators In Charleston , Au
gusta and Columbia , and perhaps other
places. They soon returned , however , and
resumed business. The shock was felt from
Jacksonville to Washington. It was plainly
perceptible in Washington . but not so
strongly as on Tuesday night.

other occupants nicsafe , but it is dllllr.nlt to
find them , thev being camped somowheio In
tlio streets. The people this morning have
apparently thrown off their fear and gone to
work clearing up the debris and removing
dangerous walls. The city shows a scene of
gicat activity.
Tlie local authorities have their hands full.
The piosident has mitliorlrat the secretary ot
war to send here a 100 tents , but more than fiat
number are needed. It Is reported theie was
a severe shock at Summerville this morning ,
but the report has not been authenticated.
Many repiesentatives of leading journals
nieheie to wiltoup and photograph the city.
The situation is still dcploiable. lindely
imiiioviscd tents , constructed principally ot
bed clothing , aie seen evcryvvheie. Jew per
sons have as jet slept indoors , and houses
are descitcd. Thousands have slept witli
nothing but the canopy of heaven above
them. Altei the paiks and public squares
weie filled last night , the Inhabitants sus
pended ovcieonts , bed quilts , etc , , fiom
lences over sidewalks , and man v en joyed le-
pose under open umbrellas stuck in tlie
giound. The moio aiistocratlc

The colored people say they will not
return to their homes until at least another

their collee and eating drv bread beside the

At a joint meeting of the Chaileston ex

followlm. was unanimously adopted :
To all Exchanges and Comineiclal Bodies
Our banks , \vatchouscs , cotton presses ,
wharvf.s , railroads , rice mills and everything
necessary for handling business , thouuli

B. BAI.MANN ,
President .Merchants Exchange.
The joint meeting also adopted resolutions
to apply to the president andcongicss fora
national loan to aid the citizens of Charles
ton In rebuilding the city.
This morning's News and Courier prints
nn article In which it says Charleston bus
bravely commenced the work ot ictriuving
her commeicial fortunes. The paper further
eays : "Let it not be imagined for a moment
that Charleston is .setting In her ashes be
wailing the loss of millions. A full con
sciousness of the loss is here. It Is under
stood fully that far moro than the earnings of
twelve months were swept away in less than
a minute. But for all this , and because 01
this , Charleston Is only the moie determined
to maintain tlio commercial position it has
won , and Is fortunately so situated ns to be
nblo to deal successfully with every depait-
mont of trade and every branch of business. "
An appeal is made to the city council tor
monetary assistance In the form of an appro-
pilatlon , but the Xuws and Courier admen
ishes those who extend aid to confine them
selves in so doing to people in circumstances
or conditions tendering them now unable to
help themselves. Very little has been accom
plished up to this writing to lollevo the city
ot Its nppcaianco of desolation. Wholofronts
and sides ot buildings have fallen out , leav
ing the furnishing in some Instances intact.
A two-storj brick building on Slate sheet
presents an Interesting appearance of this
description. The lower floor Is used
for merchandise nnd the upper Moor Is
a residence. The whole front fell out
leaving the inteitor exposed to view. Pic
tures and mirrors are on tlio walls and
chairs remain as tliev vvero left by the flee
ing family. Evidently the owner has not
gained the coinage to warrant his ictiiin.
The most alarming toatuio of the piesent
condition of affaire is the shaky condition of
the buildings. Nino-tenths of the biick
stiueturcs are cracked through and through
and threaten to tumble. Cldmncjs that have
not actually fallen are badly careened and
would fall If touched , A reporter has just
made a tour of that portion of the city most
ditnstiously damaged and states that the
structures damaged are mostly lifty years and
mure of age. A single substantial building
was seen which had tulleied mateilally fiom
the shocks.

It would be simply Impossible to exaggerate
or to depict in sulllclently descriptive lan
guage the effect ol Tui day nlght'H vi ilatlon
on tlie coloied people of Charleston. There
never was until within the past few days an
oppoitunlty of nollcimr the public exhibi
tion of mpcrstltlous fears to
the degiee that has existed among all
classes of colored people since the tremendous
deus shock of Tuesday night. 'Ihoy lied
fiom their homes , and as they ran hither and
thither through the blinding clouds of iml-
veiIzed mortar , which was shaken from the
houses and arose again from the streets , they
lilled the air \vlth disnml groans of despair
nnd lamentations of teriiiicd distress , As
usual with them in their funeral devotions
the name of Jezus was most frequently used ,
nnd us If supplicating God face to two they
shrieked out in very helplessness and pathos
of despair such sentences as : "Do , my master -
ter Jesus , havemeicy on mol" "Oh , fevveet
Jesus , mel" "Let
siivo mo , sa\o
1110 live through this night , dear
Ood.D my Saviour ! " "Hold mo up
once moie. then blessed Chiist , my mas
ter , " and other tearful supplications which
Inlcnshied the horror of the situation and
went far towaid demoralizing the white
people who were also rushing blindly
hllhcr and thither. As usual tlie faces of the
white men and women lu a time of danger
was a slt'ht of sudden joy In
the gloom to many a poor wander-
IUB coloied boy or girl , who
endeavored to stop their while friends as
they ran by In the confusion , to tmnpllcitti
that tney would remain with them until
"Judgment was done. " In many Instance *
the trembling girl sauk down ou her Kncca
and spl/cd with frantic energy the folds of
some white lady's dress , nnd falling toex-
liress their terror in wonlsvlth scarcely
moving lips , that they wanted onlj metal
suppoit of a friend In the hour of distiess
and agony.
Immediately after the flist sho"k thoic was
an exhibition of joy. and voices of congratu
lation vvero braid on cverv side , and all min
gled with vvoids of thinfvsgivlng to divine
piovldcnce. People clung to each oilier like
brothers and sisters. In tlie dismal gloom
some lady cried out : " ( Jet to the green ,
cet to the green ! " and almost In a
twinkling the colored people made a rush
for that haven of safely. It seems as if all
Ch.iileslon was already then1. Women hnr-
rlcd along , diagging their little charges by
their hands in all kinds of night nppniel. tt
was only , however , when the oldei classes
of coloied people ariived that a

CHICAGO , Sept 3. [ Special Telegram to
the Bic. : ] The boldest robbery that has
taken place in this city for some time was
perpetrated hist iiiglit on La Sallo street , near
the alley running east and west between
Monroe and Adams streets , About 10 o'clock
John McGregor , a wealthy stockman , living
in Davenport , la. , was stiolling along the
"
east side of tlie walk , when he noticed" four
men walking rapidly towaids him from the
rear. They came up with him just as the
shadow of the nlley was reached and ho
stepped aside to allow them to pass. As ho
did so one of the men raised his arm quickly
and with some blunt weapon dealt Mcregor
a powerful blow on the head , stretching him
insensible on the ground. Tlio robbers then
cut open his vest pocket , containing 81,609
In money , grabbed the cash and ran away
down the alley. McGregor lay on the side
walk a few minutes before being noticed.
The police took him to the station and cared
for him. He Is not hurt badly. McGregor
vv as at the stock yards yesterday where he
sold two carloads of cattle lor the amount
stolen , and had evidently been spotted and
tiacked from the place of sate to the point
where tlie robbery was committed. The po
lice have as yet no cine to tlie robbers , and
the piospect of finding them is very dubious.

COLOONI : , Sept. 3. fN'evv York Herald
Cable Special to the HIK. : ] I send you tlie
following dispatch icceived by the Cologne
Gazette :
SOIMA , Sept. 3. ISSfl. Prince Alexander has
arrived here. During the night ho u-eelved
dispatches containing the advice ot Blsmnrck
dissuading him 110:11 : punishing the guilty
rebels. The Russian and German consuls
have taken no part In tlie ceiemony of recep
tion. The exchange of telegrams between
the prince and Iho c/ar became known here
this morning. The closing announcement
of his decision by the prince is by no means
to bo icgardcd its linal should U bo found
tl-at n backward step taken now
would endanger peace. The officers
near and devoted to Alexander
are openly opposed to anything like
retreat from the prince's present position.
Against this attitude are those voices In the
piess that regard Alexander's position as un
tenable. Yet in well Informed circles moro
favorable views are held , for example , that
thecoriespondenco between the prince and
the czar must bo judged In the light of Its
total contents. IT euco tlio closing sentence
of the pi luce's letter can no more bo regarded
as a ical renunciation of the Bulgarian
throne than the remark of the czar as to non
intervention can be held to mean an uncon
ditional promise on the subject. Emphasis
is also laid on the fact that the prince's
phrase about Hussla having given him the
crown isenoneous. The foundation of the
Bulgarian state was laid bv the signatory
powers and It Is to them , it at all , that the
Bnlgaiiaii crown must bo handed back.
After waiting in the village nt about eiaht
kiloniehcs fiom Solia , Gadban and several
other persons of note departed for Solia to
cumin- Tim I-UINCE
on his arrival. Prince Alexander wore a
Bulgarian general's uniform , and with Stam-
buloff rode In a carriage that was liter
ally covered with llowers. Half a squa
dron ot guards escorted the carriage to
within two kilometres of Sofia , where the
prince , greeted from all sides with loud
cheers , mounted his horse. Franz Josef His-
desel lode at his side. Tlio troops , consisting
of one batalilon of Bulgarians , eight battal
ions of Koumcllans , two batteries and two
squadrons ot cavalry , drawn up in trent of
the city , received him witli tiiumplmnt and
resounding hunalis. The prince , riding
with Mulkuiolf , Petioir and Papotr , ad-
diessed the soldiers in a speech that
was enthusiastically cheered. The music
began to play , cannons thundered , and the
streets of Solia weie densely crowded by the
eager and excited populace. The ciowd was
thickest in front ot the chamber ot deputies ,
all tlie consuls , witli the exception of the
German and Russian consuls , were stationed
to greet the piince. The Uussian consulate
alone had no Hag Hying.
The Movements in Detail.
NISA , Sept 3. [ New Yoik Herald Cable
Special to tlio BKH. ] The following are tlie
details of the occurrences in Solia during the
past week : Zankoffand Bagdanoll having
perceived thiough the news , which arrived
from the provinces August 23 , that the revolution
elution would meet with no success on ac
count of the attitude taken by tlie
military nnd the population , the
latter repeatedly called upon Karavoloff to
take charge of the government. Karavoloff
accordingly obeyed the summons and tooK
possession of the government August 23. At
the same time Major I'apoff , who had been
previously arrested , occupied with tlie Alex
ander regiment the telegraph and other pub
lic buildings.A .
A SUIIIOUS SITUATION.
The situation Is , novel theless , very serious ,
as the lebel regiment and an aitlllery corps
of twenty-tour cannon , aie likewise occupy
ing portions of thccity and are capable ot lev
eling Sofia to the ground. Bagdanoff having
declared that llussla would make a mili
tary advance if lighting should occur
In Sofia , Karavaloff , Pauoff and Xlclproff
begin to negotiate and declined to occede to
Papoll's request for permission to attack the
rebels in view of the thieatoncd occupation
of the city by Russian troops. The min
istry's chief purpose is to avoid the occur
rence of bloody encounters.
TIII : KIJJAI , HISUI.T ;
of thcso negotiations was that the ipbels
abandoned their position near Solia on Sat
urday and set out unmolested foi Brcsnlk
and Pcrnik , wheio they cnticnchcd them
selves. On Sunday Mnlkurolf matched
into Sofia with Eist KonmcUan
troops , and at present there are
fronting the icbclsa sufficient number of
soldiers to annihilate them. Tin ; rebel chief ,
StojanolT , is alieady bcglnnliu to parley ,
and a tinco Is soon to bo expected. When
Mulkuroff entered Solia , H.uloslavolt had
Already been substituted In place of
Karavoloff.
MANY AIU'.KSTS MADi : .
The first action of Mulkuroff was to cause
thennust of 100 Individuals , among them
Xankoff , Burmoff. Balabanolf , Banoff , Nlki-
narolf , Panoir and Karaveloff. The last three
mentioned have already been released from
prison , but are still confined In their several
places of lesldcnce. These anests , which
had taken place with such piomptness ,
caused Intense excitement , especially that of
Karaveloff. He does not appear to bo cullty
of the conspiracy against the prince. In
deed , It Is not clear on what charge ho
had been Imprisoned , and the jus
tice of his arrest , theieforo , has
been variously commented upon. The
piocednie , however , against Clement
Bankoff and associates has been approved
of. Bulgarian ofllcers of high lank in the
army , stale that
6EVF.IIU MEASWIIES MUST HE TAKEN
against the ringleaders , rebellious civilians
nnd ofl'ieers. That these ha\o not ns yet been
binnmarlly dealt with Is duo to the necessity
of using tlio at res ted ringleaders as witnesses
against others. The ministers of war ,
Nlkolaoff | and Itadoslavolf , are expected
to-day.
KING MILAN'S TKI.Ur.UAM.
The telegram of King Milan made an ex
traordinarily good impression and is calcu
lated to obliterate the previous ugly relations
between Bulgaila and Servla. The chlval-
lous action of Milan was icgaided with
au Intense feeling of satisfaction
and has caused a declaration on the part of
the Bulgarians that they would be willing to
resume amicably relations with Servla. The
Hungarian deputation , consisting of Count
Klcsy and Uattyau , was received amid great
joy.

An attempt was nmdc to wreck a train

PhilllppopolU the engineer dlscoveied an ob
struction on the Hack and brought the train
tn a standstill. On examination It was found
that tlvo sleepers bad been placed across thu

was simply because Irish members had got
the gold that they were able to light Kngland.

( Home inle cheers. ) It was because they
had the gold that ho Hist joined the land
league. [ Loud laughter , I Ho wart glad to
see the house so happy. [ Laiuhter.1 In t'io
noith of Ireland , before the establishment of
the land league , there were u few scattered
tenant-rights associations , which , 'through
want of money , were quite In
effective to do battle with the host of land
lords , bailiffs and aentjj in that paitof the
country. But when the hind lea uo was
founded their Amerlcun'bretliien sent them
gold , and so he tluew lajils lot with the or
ganisations , [ much laii.jhter ] which had the
means and the poNyoj to do battle with
tyranny and the pressure of landlordism.

The great event of the day and of the re

grounds tills afternoon. ( ! reut ciowdscame
Hundreds ot miles to witness It , and the spec

ot previous days. The battle was planned by
( leneial Moriow , who assigned to the two ar
mies the following commanding generals :
To the .Mexicans , Colonel Daggett , ot the Second
end United States Intantry ; to the Ameri
cans , Major Boyle , Twenty-lint JJnited

mejit battery , by Captain K. Coibln , ot Grand
Island ; tlio Shelton Xouave.s , under com
mand of Captain Hedges ; the veteians
lopiescntlng the Grand Atmy ot the Hepnb-
lie numbered about one thousand men , di
vided Into two divisions , one commanded by
Colonel Dudley , U. S , A. , the oilier by Major
II. C. Itusspll , ol Schn'yler. These veterans
vtcro placed on the right and lett of the regu
lar troops. The battle , as Gciicinl Moirow
explained it to a repot tcr of tlio BKB , was not
meant as the lepiesentation ot any luiticiilar
battle , "but , " as the general said , -'it is a bat
tle that was to have been lought If there had
boon n wai between the United States nnd
Mexico. "
The battle opened with n spirited aitlllery
duct between battery F , Second United
States aitlllery , on the American side , and a
toui-gun b.ittoryon thopaitot the Mexicans.
This battciy wau commanded by Captain
Uorrance. As dlsehaigo after discharge
sounded , and the UIIIOKO tolled In heavy
toldsovci UK Held , the scene was so lealistic
as to elicit ticmendous chcciing
liom the thousands of old holdlcr *
who stood on the outsl.Irts of
the liold asbpectatois. The next scone In the
drama was the npncmancu on the Held of a
light battery , heavily Mipj > oiled by infantry.
The msh ot this battciy to the center ol the
Held , nnd the laiiid manner with which it WHS
unlimbcicd and hinnght into notion , excited
the crowd of spectators to almost lover bent.
But immediately them issued from the oppo-
situ side of the Held of battle it large body of
Infantry whoso duty it W.IH to capture or
silence the audacious battery. AH it moved
in double tlmoacioss the held the imnumso
airtlenco seemed to hold their bicath as if
waiting in expectancy tor a fearful event.
When within a tew hundred ymds of the hat-
ttiy the Infantry opened mo , nnd then
Urn mingled lear of cannon and musketry
tilled thoairvvltu a volnmu of sound that
was fairly deafening. Atluiutli the bravo
battery was forced to limber ui > and ictrcat.
followed by the assaulting column.
This war the sUiial lor tlio battle , nf
which all foimcr movements had bean but
the prelude. The lirliu was rapid on the
juit of both the aitilleiy mid the Inlantry.
The scene was almost too icallHtic for a sham
battle. Tlie chaigcs and counter charges ,
the cheers of the combatants , which found
an echo In thochceis litim the thousands of
spectators ; tlm dceu tones of Urn cannon ,
the continuous rattle of thu musketiy , the
men falling at cvoiy dlscluige , the smoke
rolling In clouds over tlie Held , the gioupi
of mounted olliccis , madoa scene which no
onn who wltnu-HOil It will evvr t'uivct.
The light was hotly contested. Every Inch
of thu Held wan maintained by the Mexicans
with the utmost btubbouinesi. lint little by
little the Mexican line yielded. At times the
two armies wuio within fifty yards of each
other , and the smoke BO ob'cuied the lidd
that the men and hoi sob could bcaicely bo
seen. Nothing was heaiu but the roar of the
battle. The spectators were literally wild with
excitement. Men and women spiang to
their feet and cheered and waved their hand
kerchiefs. At length the Mexican llijo wai
forced back to the veigouf the Hold itnd re
treated.
This was the end ol such A bene as \\-\J
never wltnp ed befoi-o In Nebraska , and
